A woman I know from evening class has two really annoying phrases. So much so I really want to say Argh very loudly 😠! All of her conversations are full of 'you know what I mean' and 'gobsmacked' and I sometimes wonder if she has any idea how many times she says these words during a 15 minute chat! I'm sure she would be gobsmacked if she counted! Joking aside though, we all look forward to hearing her entertaining stories about everyday stuff told with such dramatic fashion every week! So tell me about someone you know who has some really annoying phrases!

Anyone who uses "Let's touch base" instantly gets put in the idiot box in my mind.

OH hates"Early doors" 😂

'You know what I mean'. DH says it as punctuation. He doesn't even know he says it. It comes out as 'yanna-mean'. I grind my teeth.

I always think of this pic when I hear 'reach out'.

Be grateful

You get what you get and you can’t get upset

Both usually patronising and telling people their feelings don’t matter and/or that they’re not allowed to feel a certain way.

Cheeky.

As in cheeky little pint.

We were out making memories, just NO and the one I wanted to throw things at my ex ‘hay ho’ Angry

Imnoonesangel · 15/06/2019 21:37

'Can I just say....' we all know your fucking going to 🤦🏻‍♀️ Also not even used in context, it's not as if the person is asking permission or needs to ask permission she just uses it to start talking over someone. 🤬

What's wrong with benefit recipients saying they're being paid? Confused

I'm one, and my benefits are paid into my account, what am I supposed to say?

Got my hair did.

My mum says "If you know what I mean" at the end of EVERY sentence. I ALWAYS know what she means!

borntobequiet · 16/06/2019 06:05

Haven’t RTFT but “check your privilege” is beginning to really get on my tits. Inevitably rolled out when someone disagrees with you but has nothing sensible to say, and wants you to feel guilty for your views.

'Excited for' something. Fuck off, its 'excited about'

For your sanity please don't log onto your FB accounts today. The first post by someone on mine "you are my rock, hope you are spoilt rotten. Love you to the moon and back".

TroysMammy · 16/06/2019 10:01
